But why Melber gives cranks like that national exposure is beyond me.

Based on what has been reported, I'd agree that it is likely the past chronic organic mercury toxicity (from compulsive tuna and other fish ingestion) that most explain his mental/memory issues.

Spasmodic dysphonia is believed to have a hereditary predisposition and Kerry, his sister does have it too.

But damn... Beyond his three discrete neuro issues, and a history of 4 hospitalizations with atrial fib, he's got some nerve claiming Biden is such a "trainwreck" physically.

You can certainly get them from raccoon roundworms, as I learned when I was doing wildlife rehab.

I've never been able to eat sushi or any other kind of uncooked meat since taking microbiology.

Then again, I am not unaccustomed to hearing elderly with Parkinson's or other neuro dysfunction sounding a lot like that--much like Katherine Hepburn in her later years.

His sister, Kerry Kennedy has it too, but I find hers to be far less severe.

Once in a while, it does "breakthrough" and I have to give him some kudos and a bit of a pass for a while longer--until the next time he reverts to what frustrates so many of us (and I don't just mean the Rap segments)

He doesn't have the ability to communicate. It's painful to listen to him. And then there's his ideas.

I may have been the same if I faced his family’s disasters. He has the personality of a flea and a voice like chalk on a chalkboard

Everything in this country will change. I know what America needs.”

I feel sorry for him, but he’s a mess. He shouldn’t be running for anything. People need to see that.

And says Biden can't win if he stays in. And Biden does worse if he leaves.

Such a crackpot.

If he was running as a Democrat I would not vote for him. He can't put his words together.
